Hi everyone,

I'm new to the FR-S, but not to Scion. I bought a 2008 Scion xB brand new back in 2008, and traded it in with almost 150K miles on it a few weeks ago for a 2013 FR-S in Firestorm with 17K miles.

I'm a single mom with a son who just graduated from high school, so it's time to retire the "mom car" and drive a "me car" again! I owned a 1977 Triumph Spitfire a few years back as a play car, and my FR-S invokes many of the same feelings while driving it that the Spitfire did. In short, I'm in love with the new little red car I'm calling "Frances". Last night I pulled out the stock head unit and replaced it with the 2014/2015 touchscreen unit, and I love it.

For the record, I'm 43 with bad knees and bad hips, so getting in and out is a bit of a challenge for me as well, but I'm happy to do it because I love this car so very much!

Looking forward to being part of the forum!
